Playground Peril

Material Properties

Grades 1-2

Objects can be classified using texture, strength, color, hardness and whether they are a solid or liquid.

The crew analyzes the GAL-Delilahs' sorting system and determines how the objects were organized based on specific properties.

The crew designs and tests a trampoline using materials with specific object properties to ensure it functions correctly and safely.

The crew observes the consequences of the GAL-Delilahs' actions on the playground and comes up with solutions to rebuild and protect it from further damage.

The crew recognizes patterns in the sorting system used by the GAL-Delilahs to disassemble the playground and organizes materials based on flexible and inflexible properties.

The crew identifies and sorts materials based on their object properties, such as flexibility and hardness, to determine how they fit together to create functional structures.

The crew faces the engineering problem of rebuilding the playground and uses their knowledge of object properties to develop solutions.
